The Web Funnel

Dec 26, 2011

Howard Lindzon got me thinking the other day when he posted
“I finally got a sales call from LinkedIn $LNKD. It only took 9 years. I guess the ‘funnel’ of web optimization and no human interaction is coming to an end for the big guys….The year 2012 will be about extending the web funnel through hard core human interaction – not just optimizing your website. That will involve persistence, even chasing.”

I imagine this applies not only to business, but also to my social and personal life as well. What do you think?

This is my Kudzu Strategy for Mobile Social Networking –
1. Follow the Sunshine — Go where people are — Mobile, Social, Local, Videos, Photos
2. Create Vignettes — Make tasty snacks, appealing appetizers — Short form, video stories
3. Share the Bounty — Allow cuttings — Put vignettes where people can Like, Comment, Share.

This is the third part of The Kudzu Strategy — Starfish — Vignettes — Flow.

The Mobile Social Networking Starfish is all about being Findable.

Vignettes is all about being Consumable.
